Ontic Fallacy - Real Reality

God gave us scientific method, but we must be careful that we don’t begin to worship God’s gifts rather than worshiping God. The Bible is without error. The creation is what it is without error. There are no conflicts between the Bible and the creation. However, humans automatically process thoughts about the Bible and the creation, and human bias (everyone has it) can influence our thinking. For instance, many scientists start from a bias that presupposes that God does nothing, the earth is billions of years old, and the stories of evolutionism happened.

Scientific Method based on the Ontic Fallacy

Ask a question without any assumption or preconception.

Do background research without any assumption or preconception.

Construct a hypothesis without any assumption or preconception.

Test the hypothesis by experimenting without any error, assumption, or preconception.

Record the results without any human bias or error.

Interpret the data without any assumption or preconception.

Conclude using sound deductive reasoning and zero assumptions.

Communicate the results fully, without any bias.

Some thinkers imagine that these steps are exactly the way scientists do science, and some of these thinkers imagine that scientists don’t assume anything. They feel that scientists have no biases. There’s a problem. Totally objective and error-free science doesn’t happen since no one can get outside of himself or herself, and all humans have biases based on worldviews. Humans make assumptions and think that the assumptions are part of reality. Without divine revelation, no one can know that a premise is true. Without a true premise, no one can reason rationally. So no one can reason rationally without divine revelation.
